Book Red Carnation London accommodation from NZ$164

Yes

Yes to both - check in very helpful. Look forward to return.

Very nice front desk reception, clean room, free upgrade but the main selling point gl me is proximity to departures. You can be there 5 montages leaving the room.

Warm, cozy and felt safe

Stayed in a superior twin room on the 5th floor, which was clean and comfortable, with a walk-in shower (important because I have mobility issues). It was on the small side but not cramped. The decor seemed to be fairly new and in good shape, of a dark gray neutral sort. Staff on check-in were friendly, quick and helpful. It's a massive hotel that takes huge tour groups, so there were several hordes clumped together in the lobby and in the street area outside; there is also no visible place to sit and relax in the lobby, which is designed to get a lot of people through check-in quickly. I was so glad to find there was express checkout! There are several restaurants in the hotel which I didn't try, and lots of restaurants in the immediate area. Very close to everything in Bloomsbury. There was street noise at night but nothing extreme.

The staff was upper friendly and helpful, the hotel was so pretty, loved everything it had to offer and how close it was to everything!
